On February 8th YOKO DEVEREAUX presented it's Fall 2005 collection. The show took place in New York at CBGB's (315 Bowery), a historic venue for the punk rock music scene. We already had a chance to preview a collection and loved it. It is clean cut and very rich graphically.

To get the better feel about what all this is about here is the CHIC Interview with the Creative Director Andy Salzer.
Conceptual
AS: I keep the actual clothes very wearable for guys, but the inspiration always comes from a more conceptual place. Being able to provide a really strong story behind the collection and the brand is very important to me.
Highbrow Hoodlum
AS: The Yoko Devereaux guy is definitely a good guy that sometimes does bad things. I take a lot of inspiration from those moments where guys decide not to be on their best behavior.
Individual
AS: Creating a collection that has its own perspective is so important. Clothing is such an extension of who we are. I'd like to think that people want to be seen as their own person with a strong sense of self.
City
AS: Living in the US provides endless unique urban experiences - I love playing with that point where sophisticated uptown meets the more creative downtown. It's like two worlds colliding and can be very beautiful and also very raw.
